TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK

This study compares two common procedures (radiofrequency and cryoablation) for treating persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that raises stroke risk. Researchers will track 158 adults over 24 months to see which method better prevents strokes, blood clots, and repea…

This study tests whether a radioactive tracer called Florbetaben, used with a PET scan, can detect inflamed plaques in the arteries of people who recently had a heart attack or stroke. About 30 participants will receive the tracer and undergo imaging to see if it highlights dange…

This study follows 1,300 people who had a stroke or mini-stroke and completed a 1-year exercise program. Researchers want to see if regular physical activity helps prevent new strokes over the next 3 years. Participants will be observed for stroke, heart attack, and disability ou…

This study looks at how a stroke can disrupt the body's automatic functions like heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers will compare 100 people who had a stroke or a mini-stroke using brain scans, blood tests, and heart function tests. The goal is to better understand why the…

This study reviews the records of 300 adults who visited the emergency department after a transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke). The goal is to see if the care they received—like tests and treatments—matched their actual risk of future strokes. Researchers hope to find g…
